Film Theatre. Fashion. Thoughts. Monday, December 28, 2009. Here's my list of the best films of 2009.

The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow). Where the Wild Things Are (Spike Jonze). Up (Pete Docter and Bob Peterson ). Inglorious Basterds (Quintin Tarantino). Up in the Air (Jason Reitman).

IDEAS, NOTIONS & BOATS MADE OF OCEAN: MUSIC: JENNY LEWIS' ACID TONGUE
http://boatsmadeofocean.blogspot.com/2010/03/music-jenny-lewis-acid-tongue.html
Monday, March 8, 2010. MUSIC: JENNY LEWIS' ACID TONGUE. Personally, I thought that Rilo Kiley -Jenny Lewis' former band- were pretty mediocre; and. The album she recorded with The Watson Twins, which drove a lot of my friends gaga, left me feeling a bit cold. So when she released. E in September of 2008 I didn't even blink. I'd kind of written Jenny Lewis off. And then, over a year after it was released, I listened to it. And holy shit. And then there are the holy-fuck-we're so-weird-we-must-be-artists, ...

IDEAS, NOTIONS & BOATS MADE OF OCEAN
http://boatsmadeofocean.blogspot.com/2010/02/theres-been-long-history-in-music-of.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. In the last, say, ten years things have changed a bit; black artists rule the charts, and for artists -both white and black- authenticity is almost a dirty word; as I write this, the highest charting white artist on the Billboard Hot 100 is Kesha, whose name I refuse to spell with a dollar sign because it's stupid. Umm, Taylor Swift? Nickelback was the most successful band of the nineties, in terms of record sales? And what the hell's happened to U2? CHECK THIS STUFF OUT, Y'ALL.

IDEAS, NOTIONS & BOATS MADE OF OCEAN: June 2008
http://boatsmadeofocean.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. BANKSY HEARTS BLEK LA RAT. Banksy is a London, England-based artist. He makes public art. His work is almost always political, or at the very least it comments on societal norms, and it more often than not achieves genuine wit. Here is a selection of my favorite of Banksy's works. You can see Blek la Rat's work. Monday, June 9, 2008. THE ALIENS, THEY THINK THE FARMING IS PURTY. It looks like some kind of fancy -and awesome- geometric painting, but it's not. In fact, it's a phot...

The Ministry of...: February 2010
http://theministryof.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Film Theatre. Fashion. Thoughts. Monday, February 1, 2010. As I mentioned in my last post, it seems like whenever a re-make is being considered people go to the films of Norman Jewison. First We've already had re-makes of. The Thomas Crown Affair. Both of which were re-made by. The Hunt for Red October. And now, along with. We are also going to get. Which is a re-make of, or at least inspired by,. The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming. I don't think McTiernan is directing either of them.

The Ministry of...: December 2009
http://theministryof.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Film Theatre. Fashion. Thoughts. Thursday, December 31, 2009. There are a few films that I'm really looking forward to next year so I thought I'd share them. A few are good old fashions blockbusters and are going to make money no matter how good the film ends up being and I'm just excited about the spectacle. But a couple are looking like they're going to be just plain awesome. Here they are in no particular order. And based on the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City. Iron Man was so much fun and the ...

The Ministry of...: August 2009
http://theministryof.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Film Theatre. Fashion. Thoughts. Thursday, August 13, 2009. The Future is Nigh. Alright there's a company in Japan that called itself Cyberdeyne. Which is from this movie. And they developed a product called "Hybrid Assistive Limb" or HAL. Which is from another movie. Both of these movies served as warnings about reliance on technology. They must have known this, it can't be a coincidence. Here's a picture of HAL. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Here's the official website.

Film Theatre. Fashion. Thoughts. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. I love lists. Best of lists, that is. I'm not a fan of worst of lists, as previously mentioned on this blog. With the year coming to a close soon the lists have started rolling in and this year marks the end of the decade so there's the added bonus of best of the decade lists. 1 Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Thailand) – 53 votes. 2 Platform (Jia Zhang-ke, Hong Kong, China/China/Japan/France) – 49 votes. 11 Russian Ark (A...
